is the whirlpool water softener a good system

The WaterBoss is a great system, I replaced my old WaterBoss which was fifteen years old and was in need of repair. But I would not trade my WaterBoss for any other system. I highly recommend the WaterBoss..

The Whirlpool water softener system is far superior to WaterBoss. I've owned both (I currently have Whirlpool which replaced WaterBoss). This is the opinion of MANY people as evidenced by the absolutely poor reviews of WaterBoss here on Amazon and the wonderful reviews of the Whirlpool water softener system here: http://www.lowes.com/Plumbing/Water-Filtration-Water-Softeners/Water-Softeners/_/N-1z10xx4/pl#! DO NOT buy WaterBoss. It's a poor product from a highly uncaring company. Again, this has been proven by the many bad reviews. Get a Whirlpool system.

I have a well system, and the Home Master system works great, the water is way better than the previous single filter system I had. It would be a good idea to have your well tested for iron levels to make sure your softner system is working properly.

The unit came with a 2 year limited warranty. The recommended filter usage is about 12 months of use per filter. This unit is well built so I have no hesitation in stating that this will be in service for many years to come. Since this is strictly a Whole House Filtration system and not a water softener it does not use salt. I do plan on adding a Water Softener system in the near future which would be plumbed in behind the filter. So far the unit has been in service for 6 months and is working great.

because this system is designed to be price effective. some people would call it cheap, i just call it well-engineered Most other systems are over-engineered, at least for a system of this scale. If your only looking 10gallons/day this system is adequate. More expensive systems would have less tendency for leaks and possibly produce water more efficiently. this systems uses plastic connectors, while more expensive units most likely use brass compression fittings. and while the parts are cheap, the work well. my system has functioned well for 6months now, and I make 5gallons/day. a good filter system does just that, filter water. you can make it fancy and pretty and add some bells and whistles, but its still just water moving through a filter, and that's just what this system does. for me, ot been great; good tasting, low-ppm water; no leaks; and cheap! :) if you need a rugged system that will move around, like on a boat or r.v., then this system might get leaky; but for a house with a family who wants drinking water, its great

Hi Sandy, soft water is already a good water for human consumption. If your goal is to change the pH of the water higher than 7, then, you will need this device. This one is easy to use rather than expensive ones you can find elsewhere.

We have a Kinetico water softener system. We have a LOT of iron in our well water. We must use the Iron Out salts. The 5 micron filter works well for us. We used to use a 50 or 30 micron. If anything the 5 micron just filters better, finer particles. We change it every 6 months or so. It gets red with the iron, unless you are losing water pressure it is OK to use continue to use, we have gone 9 months without changing it before. I don't know what kind of sediment your trying to filter or how much is in your well water so I can't say how it would work in your system. I would recommend trying one of the filters for six months and see how it goes. If no problems then I'd buy the bulk package. We own our system so we can do as we like with it. I don't know what Kinetico would say about it. Good luck. Let us know if it works out for you OK. We were paying much more for our filters before we found this steal of a deal.

I got this to soften our water and filter chlorine. I've been very happy with it so far. I think Allen M. Dean's answer is more complete, and Joseph Culotta's suggestion is good because you should make sure the filter will fit your bathtub faucet.

I don't have a water softener and I haven't had any problems with mine turning white. They've actually held up really well.

Even though this filter helps to soften water in your house, still a regular softener is more efficient.I would suggest to start with this filter anyway because it is better for your health to remove chlorine,and then add a softener if your water remains hard.

I use it for my garden to filter out chlorine and heavy metals. It is a carbon based filter so it should soften up water too. I would recommend shopping for a filter that specialized for hard water if that's what you are looking for.

I do not have a Whirlpool system, but I bought this replacement tank and it works great. My system pressure is like new :>)

I have a Thermidor dishwasher (made by Bosch). It has a receptacle I fill periodically. The DW senses and dispenses according to need. I have very hard water and go through a bag every 6-8 weeks. Due to hard water, my old dishwasher required repairs 3-4 times a year including 4 new motors. I'd rather spend the money on salt to prevent problems rather than pay for expensive and frequent repairs. And dishes come out cleaner. Very pleased with the combo of new DW with built-in water softener.

I do not have a hard water problem here, but having loved in Arizona previously, from Experience with hard water there, I would not use this unit unless I had a water softener system installed and functioning prior to installation.

Yes, I recommend it. It is a good machine and well priced. Just change filters if using different refrigerant.

Whirl Out does do some cleanout of minerals, but I'm not sure exactly what, except that it cleans pretty well. The best product I've found so far is called "Oh Yuk Jetted Tub System Cleaner." It has been taking care of our bacterial iron that had been accumulating in the pipes. It dissolves a lot of it, and WhirlOut does too, but not quite as good. I have found using warm to hot water in both the cleaning and the rinse helps. The problem is, for me, that I'm not sure what harsh chemicals I can use or not use in the jacuzzi tub. If I could use anything, I would pick Iron Out. It might sound funny or silly, but for very small corroded items, Efferdent (for cleaning dentures) does an excellent job. I was looking for something to clean a partial, and one of the reviews for Efferdent was a guy who uses it to clean the minerals, calcium, etc, from his toilet. I tried Efferent in the toilet and it actually did a fairly decent job. With hot water, I think it could have done better. Hope these suggestions help. Ingrid

We hads one Intex Salt Water system that lasted two years and was more complicated to operate as if there was an electricity bread down, the system stopped and did not restart by itself. So, when we were away for a few days and that scenario happened, it was not very funny. We then bought Solaxx Retro Salt Chlorinator and it is so easy to install and to operate. I would recommend Solaxx Saltron Retro to everybody.

I use tap water however I have a water softener system and it works fine. The Protek shouldn't be a problem.
